    Which major war was started indirectly by a Bee?

    Question #43378. Asked by gmackematix. (Jan 14 04 5:10 PM)

    		Not an answer but just as a bit of interest, it was due to a comment from General Barnard Bee that Stonewall Jackson got his nickname.

    		June 28, 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated in Sarajevo.

    This was the first thing I actually thought of but found no reference to Bee so looked elsewhere and never came back.

    However.

    A faction of the Serbian "Black Hand" was under the leadership of a "Colonel Apis" (the bee), whose real identity was Colonel Dragutin Dimitrievitch, no less than the head of Serbian military intelligence. The assassins returned to Sarajevo on Jun-3 with pistols, bombs and cyanide to await the visit of the Archduke.
